PTO Memberships

Please consider joining the GES PTO if you have not already done so.  The $5.00 membership fee does not obligate you to attend meetings or volunteer (although those things are very important to the success of “our” students!).  Send $5.00 to your child’s homeroom teacher along with your name, address, phone numbers, and email address in an envelope marked ‘PTO membership dues.’ Click here to print the PTO Membership form.  In return you will receive your membership card along with a thank-you gift bag from the GES PTO.  We want every class to have 100% membership!”
